+Each type of thing is handled separately, once something is consumed by a higher level, it disappears from the lower level section.
+This way we can save processing power. It means however that things at a higher level can't combine at a lower level. :/

+spacial hash? elements can interact with each other only in the same hash, hashes overlap?

+Particles spawn randomly within a radius specified by the farthest traveled particle.
+Particles spawn with different types, each has a specific lifetime. (Use a particular generator for randomness of lifetimes.)
+Velocities are random, seeded generator?
